Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

After having broken six of eight of the original fittings on 2 of my Nirvana's I switched to Jaco 3mm's and have not broken any of them with hundreds of hours of flying. I had to make the holes in the trailing edge a little larger to fit them though.

I feel your pain. I had 10 and now I'm down to 3 spares. They shear off so easily. Yesterday I was about to fly my std at lunch and the button popped out and it took 10 minutes to find it. I brought CA to work today to glue it in.

fyi ... with Jacos as a replacement you have to change the rods also, because they are now too short to get the same length sail<->spreaderalternativly HQ makes pretty the same as the R-Skys, but using a screw

for a quick fix some just pushed in a thumbtack (may corrode if untreated!) instead of the original pin
